The war on drugs is a never-ending battle, with new substances emerging continually. Among one of those newest substances are bath salts.
With a rather innocent name, bath salts sound like a way to unwind from a stressful day at work. While many young people are using them as a way to unwind and escape, it’s not in the traditional sense of a relaxing bath. In fact it’s the dangerous practice of smoking, inhaling or injecting these bath salts that are causing tremendous problems for America’s youth.
“Bath salts have nothing to do with bathing, and the misleading name is one of the many problems with this substance,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside
Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center in Canaan, CT. “Also troubling is that many of these substances can be found at local stores, making it possible for America’s youth to obtain the substances with relative ease. It’s a growing problem that must be addressed at the national, state and local levels.”
While addiction and substance abuse is a growing problem facing America recovery is, indeed, possible.
